It's now almost impossible to watch a K-drama and not see a well-marked coffee shop in the background. Here is a list of some of the most common chains that appear in dramas time and time again. How many of these names do you recognize?

Dunkin' Donuts is certainly not a new name for most of us drama watchers, but this international chain has been popping up in recent dramas like
Doctor Stranger. Who can forget SISTAR's Bora playing the Dunkin' Donuts clerk? That DD hat is not her best look...

I. Want. That. Mango. Smoothie. You have to admit that the Mango Six product placement in
Heirs sure was effective. It may have been over the top, but I'm still craving a taste of that mango drink! But seriously, Mango Six and their mango smoothie is everywhere in that drama.

Those watching
Healer know that the main character's father owns his own Coffee Bay coffee shop. At least once per episode, you'll see this set being used.(It's kinda hard not to notice...) I sure wish I could live above a Korean coffee shop!

Watch Park Min Young and Ji Chang Wook team up in the thrilling action romance Healer:

While it didn't start out as a coffee shop chain, this iconic cafe actually sparked the creation of a Coffee Prince franchise. Not only can you still visit the original Coffee Prince shop, but other locations are now scattered throughout Seoul!

Did you recognize all of these shops? Which cafe do you want to try out first? Also, what do you think of this type of advertising?
